How to Get our Man to Care for his Mane

Beautiful, healthy hair just gives a woman that extra look of radiance, health and feminine beauty. Not to mention long, gorgeous hair helps a woman maintain a youthful look well in to her later years.

As women, taking care of our hair comes naturally. Beauty is a privilege that we are blessed to have fun with, and hair care is only one part -- albeit a significant one -- of the equation. We bathe and cleanse and pamper our hair like it were our skin, our fitness, and our entire look for the day. It’s almost as natural as replenishing our body with water.

Hair is actually one of a woman's stronger's assets and attraction triggers for men. But how to get our man to care for his mane.

This intrinsic part of being a woman does not come so naturally to men. While men’s fashion and style have evolved over the centuries just as equally with women’s, for the most part, looking good seemingly remains a hobby of the vain or metrosexual. It’s not about stereotypifying, it’s about a fact: how many men will openly admit to poring over scalp and hair troubles?

This is where women can step in. Sure, there are magazines, websites and blogs for men to peruse when it comes to maintaining their mane. But perhaps a little nudge from their woman can be encouraging enough for them not to shy away from genuinely caring for their hair. Not to mention, it’s a great ego boost, too.

Start by talking to him about hair -- every now and then. If you are still getting to know your guy, daily routines make for an interesting topic of conversation. Try to find out how much he spends on his looks, but of course, do so subtly. Does he visit the barber or salon often, and which does he prefer? If he is rocking a semi-bald Derek Ramsey look at the moment, does he have any plans of switching to the Justin Biebr do anytime soon? Is he one for conditioning, or is he more of the wash-and-wear type?

Be careful not to steer the conversation the way you would with a girl friend. The last thing you want to do is to freak him out! Keep it light and subtle. If he is the type to find it uncomfortable to discuss ‘beauty routines,’ look for opportunities to tease him about his hairdo every now and then. One thing to remember is never to put him down or make him feel small about it -- men are sensitive about their abilities, so watch out.

The best way to go would be to complement him for his current ‘do, and ask where he went to have his hair done. The idea is to talk about it like it were any other subject and try to get him comfortable as much as possible.

You can then follow that with the thoughtful act of observing his shopping list when you go out. What are the basic items he picks up at the drugstore? When you go shopping together, where does he like to frequent - is it the gadget hub, the music shop or the department store? Know what he likes, and then surprise him once with all these essentials that make him who he is. You could add an item or two as well that you think he will appreciate.

One good gift to throw in would be the naturally-made Novuhair Topical Scalp Lotion. Though primarily known as nature’s remedy to hair loss, Novuhair works just as equally as a preventative solution. In fact, amazing side effects include maintaining the hair’s natural luster and preventing premature graying.

There’s no going wrong when it comes to a product of Mother Nature. Novuhair is made of herbal ingredients such as moringa oleifera, panax ginseng, virgin coconut oil, and the essential oils of rosemary and peppermint. Collectively these ingredients help increase nutrients and improve blood circulation to the scalp, detoxifying it of its impurities and caring for its overall health, including that of the hair.

Available in a 200mL bottle, Novuhair is best used after shampoo. Simply massage it onto the wet scalp and then rinse. Alternatively, it can be used as a styling leave-on that you can wear throughout the day.
First discovered by beauty and style icon Fanny Serrano, Novuhair has since been picked up by other celebrities for its proven effectivity. Its latest endorser is Mr. World 2012 runner-up Andrew Wolf, the British-Filipino hunk also known for his modeling, acting and athletic chops (Wolf is a member of the Philippine Volcanoes, too). If anything, the newly proclaimed NovuMan is one reason your man might want to give Novuhair a try!

Hair care is not rocket science. It’s part of ourselves, and part of our bodies, and knowing how to care for our mane need not be a symbol of vanity. It isn’t for women, and it certainly need not be for men.

Novuhair is available at all Mercury Drug, Watsons, Rose Pharmacy, South Star Drug and Manson Drug, Metro Gaisano Pharmacies, KCC Malls and at JCenter Mall in Cebu,

Isabelle de Leon with her debut album "LoveZone" under PolyEast Records

PolyEast Records introduces Isabelle de Leon with a debut album “LoveZone”

Former award winning child actress Isabella de Leon, known to many as "Duday" in the sitcom Daddy Didodu, is now a lovely lady, super talented singer / songwriter. She writes all the music and lyrics of songs in her album LoveZone. Isabelle de Leon, heart-warming and lyrically clever is with a debut album under PolyEast Records, laden with elements of folk, rock and pop into her unique signature sound.

Music has always been a part of me as a kid – it has kept me going. I write songs to tell stories, I sing because I want to share it.”
So beautiful, refreshing and awesome talented and now poised to be the next big PolyEast Records talent, Isabelle is out to prove herself as an artist with an album that has as much substance as her colorful young life experiences, formidable songwriting chops and prodigious skill with her instruments.

I'm really so happy to see her now, the one I really admire during her child days. Gladly we meet and had talks with her as casual but amazingly, her voice is so beautiful and she's brilliantly talented girl. She sings while playing the guitar and dance as everyone listening feel the beat. 
During the presscon/blogcon held at the PolyEast Records office last March 5,  she candidly answered questions from the press and bloggers. She told us that she begin voice workshop, learning different musical instruments since after the TV and movie experiences, that was when she was 12 years old. And now, as a lady, writing all songs and giving music to all she writes. 18-year-old Isabelle continues to write songs from her heart and plays several musical instruments as inspired by her musician dad who taught her to play the guitar, bass, drums, piano and harmonica.

Her sound is worldly, a fusion of not only her upbringing but also exhibits the diversity of her influences like The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, the Carpenters, Led Zeppelin, Steven Tyler, Robbie Williams, U2, Coldplay, Michael Jackson, Katy Perry, Adele, Enya and Noel Cabangon. And she loves filipina rock singer Sampaguita.

She describes the radio single “1 Week To Move On” as “dealing with the raw emotions around heartbreak” all infused in a melodic pop-rock hook. 
Her guitar-driven narrative “Feelingero” fits in gentle humor in young love…and she wrote it because of love experiences of her best friends while “Friend Zone” speaks of unrequited love.

Isabelle goes playfully poetic yet inspirational in “Alice Wonders” and “Pag-ibig Ko’y Sayo” speaks of love that is unconditional.

“Magtatago ako sa init ng iyong yakap” is the line that says it all in her comforting track “Sa Yakap Mo”.

Isabelle shared two things that are essential in an artist, the ability to relate to people’s daily lives and the power to express emotions in new and powerful ways.

“I want to sing songs I have a real connection to. Songs that have moved me or those who’ll be listening to my music ,  be it love in all its grandeur or love lost. Isn’t it a relief when you hear songs that say exactly what you feel?”
LoveZone was released this February under PolyEast Records.

Here's the Track List of LoveZone :

1.  FEELINGERO
2.  1 WEEK TO MOVE ON
3.  ALICE WONDERS
4.  PAG-IBIG KO'Y SA YO
5.  SA YAKAP MO
6.  FRIEND ZONE

Checkout some videos I captured and uploaded to Youtube. Thanks and enjoy the wonderful world of Isabelle ! 



“LoveZone” is now available in the market released by PolyEast Records for only P200. Special thanks to Pony, Hairshaft Salon and Outdoor Products.

Must Be . . . Love with KathNiel

Must Be . . . Love is about the two young boy and girl as childhood best friends Pachot and Ivan. Kathryn plays Patchot, the tomboyish best friend of Ivan (Daniel Padilla), who grows up in a family of men. Boyish as Patchot may be, she has a secret crush on Ivan but pushes aside her feelings for the sake of their friendship. It is only after Ivan becomes her cousin's boyfriend does Patchot again acknowledge what she feels and tries to see if she does have a chance with the guy whom she's loved for the longest time. 
Last Monday, (March 4)  we enjoyed talking with Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla, Director Dado Lumibao and writer Ms. Melai Monge who appeared during the blogger's conference held for their upcoming movie, Must Be Love. They candidly answered the questions on their personal feelings about the movie , work, friendships and relationships 
Kathryn relate to the role of Patchot. "Kabaliktaran po kasi ako ni Patchot, lumaki po ako sa family na all girls kaya hindi ko napagdaanan yung pinagdaanan niya, lumaki na rin naman po ako with my dad and mom. Pero, nakarelate na po ako sa kaniya sa bandang huli, yung nagiging conscious siya, nung nagta-transform na siya." 
She said that she hopes that fans of Princess and I will find their movie just as enjoyable to watch. Kathryn said there are “kilig” scenes which are wholesome but fun to watch. 
At 16, she is super happy for they are giving these projects. "Sinabi po nila na hindi lahat ng nagte-teleserye nabibigyan ng chance i-prove ang sarili nila sa movie. So, nung nalaman namin na magkakaroon kami ng launching movie, super saya kami kasi nabigyan kami ng chance, simuportahan nila yung movie, kaya super saya po namin." 
"Nakita po nila na natural kami, hindi yung concsious sya sa galaw, DJ very rockstar,  nag na opposite po kami pero pag kasama kami di nag clash kaya interesting nakikita nila."Daniel was asked if becoming an actor was natural to him as he is, after all, part of the Padilla clan, counting Robin Padilla as an uncle.

"Nung una po, ayaw ko mag-artista kasi alam ko ang hirap ng buhay ng artista. Nakita ko po yun sa mga magulang ko. Pero ang totoong mga dahilan po ay ito po yung mundong kinalakihan ko, ito yung alam kong gawin at kasi kailangan ko na pong tulungan ang mama ko," Daniel said candidly. 
"Nag-sink in na po sa akin na walang magagawang mabuti sa akin ang pagiging mahiyain. Unti-unti na rin po akong naging confident sa dami ng ginagawa ko sa trabaho." 

About new discoveries of Kathryn while making the movie? 
"Sa tagal po namin ni Kathryn na magkasama sa Princess and I, parang wala na, simula pa lang, feeling ko nagtatantiyahan na kami ni Kathryn, kaya hanggang ngayon nakuha na namin yung ugali ng isa't-isa." 

Direk Dado expressed admiration for Kathryn and Daniel.The two young celebrities appreciate all the people who support them. They always wave and greet to their fans even they feel tired. Direk shared to us that he never experience any difficulties in shooting with KathNiel. “Mayroon talagang mga pagkakataon na medyo mababa ang energy kasi napapagod din sila, pero madali silang kausap, madaling i-motivate, madaling pagsabihan, kaya pagsabi ng ‘action!’ ready na agad!” 

Must Be...Love stars Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla, John Estrada, Ramon Christopher Gutierrez, Jon "Sweet" Lapus, Paul Salas, Arlene Muhlach, Janus Del Prado, Sharlene San Pedro, Kit Thomson, K Brosas, and Liza Soberano. 

Must Be . . . Love a movie from Star Cinema directed by Dado Lumibao , showing on March 13, 2013.
